Valentine's Weekend

This past weekend was great!!

Friday - It SNOWED in Mobile and in Charleston and classes were cancelled (mostly). Kristen, BJ, Morgan, and me played in the ice/snow for a while but it didnt stick to the ground here in Mobile. We started to paint with Shannon and at lunch she let us go and we went to Millry (bj's house), which got around 4 inches of snow and we played, had a snow ball fight, and built two snowmen in the snow. We then enjoyed some taco soup and some chocolate cream cheese cake! YUM! We then headed back and watched most of 'Julie and Julia.'

Saturday - I chilled around the room and worked on SeCAPS stuff and then went to work at the game with Melissa. I then went over to bj's place and played some lego batman which to my surprise, is pretty fun!

Sunday - Valentine's day! Went to church and then went to walmart to get some last minute stuff. Bad mistake, walmart was crazy! I made it out alive and went back to the room and starting getting ready for that night. I baked a funfetti cake and got some sandwhich stuff together. Kristen was supposed to work but ended up not working so she came over and we ate dinner and watched Mrs. Doubtfire. HILARIOUS movie! We exchanged gifts, which she got me 'night at the museum 2' and a tornado chasing book with some pretty cool photos! We ended the evening playing some wii sports.

Overall, very good weekend!

Addicted

For Christmas I got a Wii and since then I can't stop thinking about Mario and the world of Mario, from goombas, to bullet bill, and to dry bones. I believe Mario is the best video game character ever created as the games never get old. They come with new ideas and make old ideas even better with each new console!

Right now the game I keep thinking about is the "New Super Mario Brothers. Wii", a remake of the old super mario brothers from the super nintendo. Kristen, BJ, Braden, Morgan, and me have all had a part in beating it and we are so close! We beat bowser but Peach told mario at the end 'oh mario! did i tell you about the secret world?' WHAT!? After going through 8 worlds and beating bowser, there is still more to do!? Well each level in each world has 3 star coins and you have to get all them to open 8 new levels in world 9! We have all of the coins in worlds 1-6 and a majority of the coins in worlds 7 & 8. We are so close yet so far!

I'm looking at expanding my mario game collection as I only have two thus far (Super Mario Bros., and Super Smash Brothers). Here is a list of the Mario games I have played:
- Mario Kart Wii
- Mario & Sonic @ the Winter Olympic Games
- Mario Party (not on the wii though but its pretty much the same)

So not sure which one I will buy next....

However, here are some of my favorite Mario characters:

Mario - Of course! I will choose him before any other characters

In case you didn't know, I'm addicted to Mario!

Yoshi - He is a little green dinosaur that is very cool!


Lakitu - Usually a bad guy but he can be good too. He has several roles in varios games


Dry Bones - You must be cool to have a name like 'dry bones'


Koopalings - I didn't know who they were until super mario brothers. They are bowser's kids. They have provided a lot of laughter during play with their 'talking'


man, I love mario!
